I just want to change the subject quickly.
"How can that be possible?"
Zhao Ji said with a smile: "Will Dali still need Luo Xiang to worry about it in the future? Even if I collect all the magical medicines in the world, I have to let Luo Xiang live to be a hundred years old!"
“This, this…”
Luo Yan panicked for a moment, but soon calmed down. He let out a long sigh: "I'm afraid I don't need to live that long!"
Zhao Ji frowned and asked, "What does Luo Xiang mean?"
Luo Yan's expression straightened up, and he bowed solemnly and said, "Recently, I have had a lot of exchanges with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Although His Royal Highness has not revealed any news, I see that the situation today may be that he is going to take action against the major families!
This old minister believes that the ills of our great Li family are old diseases that are deep-rooted and must either be left untreated or eradicated with drastic measures!
The Wei and Han families are ambitious, and the Li family is waiting for an opportunity to act. This disease has reached the point where it must be treated.
Since ancient times, every political reform has resulted in rivers of blood.
This old minister is about to die, and I am willing to die for Dali!"
His words were so sincere and heartfelt that the atmosphere in the entire side hall became a little silent.
Zhao Ji had a complicated expression: "Does Luo Xiang really think so?"
Luo Yan's eyes were firm: "I have assisted Your Majesty for so many years. Don't you know what I am thinking?"
"well……"
Zhao Ji let out a long sigh.
Luo Yan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has defeated the Wei and Han families in the past few days. I believe you have a plan for reform. If Your Majesty trusts me, I will do my best!"
Zhao Ji nodded: "Since Prime Minister Luo is willing, then you and I will join forces again. This time the reform..."
"His Majesty!"
Luo Yan interrupted hurriedly and looked at Ying Wuji with a strange expression.
His meaning was very clear: it was not appropriate to discuss the details of the reform when outsiders were present.
"whispering sound……"
Ying Wuji snorted and said, "On the first draft of your reform, I am at least a co-first author. How can you, an old man who helps you, start to show off your status as the corresponding author?"
Zhao Ji smiled and said, "It's okay! Wuji is not an outsider."
Wuji?
Not an outsider?
Luo Yan was stunned for a moment. Why was he calling her so affectionately? How come he was not an outsider?
He hesitated: "Your Majesty! This..."
Zhao Ji said with a smile: "The marriage between Li and Gan is imminent. Wuji is willing to bring a large amount of business to my Dali to be a prince consort. From now on, we will be one of our own!"
Li-Gan marriage?
Bulk business?
Luo Yan's eyes lit up. This was good news!
In that case, then we are truly one of our own.
He couldn't help but look at Ying Wuji again.
Suddenly, his brows twitched, and he said subconsciously: "Your Majesty! I have an unwelcome request!"
"Please speak, Prime Minister Luo!"
After getting Zhao Ji's affirmation, Luo Yan became a little hesitant.
He opened and closed his mouth again and again, and even began to scratch his slightly sparse hair, looking quite anxious.
Ying Wuji couldn't help but glance at him, wondering what this old guy was up to.
Is it about Huachao?
Although Luo Yan's performance in this public trial won him a lot of goodwill, his disgust towards Luo Yan did not diminish much.
If he dared to make unreasonable demands regarding Hua Chao, Ying Wuji would really turn hostile on the spot.
Zhao Ji couldn't help but smile: "Luo Xiang, just say whatever you want!"
Luo Yan took a deep breath and said hesitantly, "It is naturally a great thing that Master Wuji is willing to become the consort of my Dali. It is reasonable that Master Wuji, as the consort of my Dali, cannot have any other wives or concubines except the princess, but I dare to ask Your Majesty to let him, let him..."
He was halfway through his speech when he couldn't finish it, but he still forced out the second half of the sentence: "I ask your Majesty to allow Hua Chao to marry Master Wuji as a concubine!"
Zhao Ji: “…”
Zhao Ning: “…”
Ying Wuji: “…”
To be honest, he was confused by this request.
This old guy was quite stubborn during the trial yesterday, but he had done a lot of disgusting things before, and used many dirty tricks to force Hua Chao to leave him.
But now, he asked Zhao Ji to allow Hua Chao to marry him as a concubine?
He frowned slightly: "Xiang Bang! What sinister idea are you planning?"
Luo Yan did not look at Ying Wuji, but looked at Zhao Ji with a sad face: "Your Majesty should also know that I have rarely done anything wrong to others in my life, but to them mother and daughter... Alas!
Hua Chao is a child with a miserable life. Because of the old ministers, she has been left with many shadows. It is really a blessing for her to meet a man who is not annoying.
The old minister used to think that Master Wuji was in danger of losing his position and might drag her down, so he resorted to many shady means.
But I never thought that Master Wuji would be willing to throw himself into danger for Hua Chao, which really makes me ashamed.
Now that Master Wuji has become one of our own, it is a blessing for both the Li and Gan countries, but my daughter...
I know this request is a bit excessive, but Hua Chao is the only regret in my heart. If she is not happy, I am afraid that I will not be able to rest in peace even in my grave!"
These words were spoken with great emotion, and tears even welled up in his cloudy eyes.
Zhao Ji also had a complicated expression when he heard this. He and Luo Yan had been king and minister for many years and had opened their hearts to each other more than once. Naturally, he knew what Luo Yan was thinking. Hua Chao and her daughter were probably the only two people who could make him feel guilty.
It is true that a prince consort taking a concubine undermines the dignity of the royal family, but it is not a big problem.
Besides, the princesses under his knees are not that important in themselves, so it’s okay if they suffer a little.
The key point is that as long as this request is agreed, Luo Yan should have no other worries when presiding over the reform.
